Chitvan [Devanagari:चितवन] is a Hindi word which means a look, or a glance.

The word is most popular for its usage in Saraswatichandra's popular Mukesh song chandan sa badan, chanchal chitvan. Here, chnchal chitvan would mean playful glances, or playful looks (that the actress is giving to the actor/singer here).

This song is part Hindi, sung by Vishal's forever favorite Suresh Wadkar, and written by Gulzar, and part Kashmiri folk, sung by Shraddha Kapoor. The Kashmiri folk is in italics. Thanks to Shri Pavan Jha for helping with the Kashmiri folk parts and their meanings.

The male protagonist in the song describes his position on seeing the female lead, and here he says he is much astonished by her beauty.

Surprised, startled, bewildered, AWESTRUCK can also be quoted as meanings for merasalayitten.

Mersalayitten is not considered a standard Tamil language word as such, however, going by the slang used in Chennai and some other areas, it would mean getting scared. However, going by the song, Awestruck or suddenly astonished would the meaning that would fit in here.

The famous ghazal of Faiz keeps getting more mainstream and more popular by the day. After being sung by Mehdi Hassan and Jagjit Singh, the ghazal has been in Bollywood too, though in the form of a song with just the Mukhda borrowed from the original [Mohit Chauhan/KK, Film: Sikandar]. This time it's none other than Vishal Bhardwaj composing it for Arijit Singh to sing. A slow track, it begins with a sher in between and then comes to the beginning. Expect that to be Gulzar Sahab's way.

In the song, every single line except the title is a Hindi proverb translated literally. However, the meanings of these proverbs are of course, proverbial, and should not be literal. So instead of translating the song literally, I am writing the Hindi proverb that is translated here, and giving it's original meaning.
